From Beats To Beats
Raldon “Donny” Lumpkins,
This week I was assigned my beats, something I was apprehensive about at first because I, like lot of kids I know don’t like to do things I don’t want to do, you might call it a character flaw but I call it (ummmm) the selfish behavior of a normal 20 year old. (My bad, its all love. xoxo) But now that I know them (my beats) I must say I’m happy with what I got. The nice folks at Rock The Vote head quarters seem to know me better than I do. The beats they chose for me to cover reflect my style and interest about as much as a new pair of Nikes in a shoe store foot mirror. (Fresh!) These are beats my drum role please!
Young Black men and voting: • Family issues: Economic Issues and Youth organizations activities in my community.
You best believe I plan to stay on top of these story beats like the best rappers do drum beats, with different kinds of media seamlessly weaved together like snares and high hats on a track that you cant help but to be moved by, With powerful stories that find a place in your heart and stay there like the bass of an 808 drum machine. (Fingers humbly crossed)
One of the things that I'm most existed to cover is all of the issues young black men face. These issues could potentially include cash flow, family, relationships, friends or overall mental health. These issues have always been paramount in my heart and mind. I know that these things are not just young black issues but issues all young people deal with and I hope I can rep us (the youth) correctly. I plan to shine a new light on the struggles of being young and wrestles in America, a light that isn’t being wielded by a cable news camera man or a police officer, but a young black man that is trying to find answers for everyone else as much as he is for himself.
